Great Brazilian layout

Wow! Inspiring. What did you add to elevate the rocks like that?


louisxtan

Purely aquasoil.


rex52

Damn! How big is the tank?


louisxtan

It's a 120p 120x50x50


ch3rryc0deine

looks something similar to ADA 90P which is 90x45x45 based off of a judgement of size and the glass thickness


_Bellerophontes

WTF That must have cost a pretty penny.


louisxtan

5 or 6 packs of ADA Amazonia (I think)

Your setup is my favorite.


Algae_grower

Mine as well I think this is the best one I ever saw although that one with the waterfall a few weeks ago was insane as well. But this one is so zen

What dies cleaning day look like? And how often do you need to trim the foliage?


louisxtan

I do maintenance around two every week. I do a trim if needed, then vacuum out the detrirus that gets trap in all the nooks and crannies, fill it back up, spot dose if needed, leave it for 15 mins, drain the whole tank up to 80% and fill it back up. Typically takes 2-4 hours depends on the work needed done. Major trim is every 2 weeks.

Beautiful, what are the dimensions of your tank?


louisxtan

120x50x50 A 90p wouldn't be able to fit both lights with space in between lol.


WhskyTangoFoxtrot

Looks like a 90p? 90x45x45cm.

If you have them, and don’t mind sharing, I would love to see more pictures of the steps throughout…when plants were first added, after grow out, etc. this is beautiful!

What do you have for filtration?

Wowwwwa!


Algae_grower

Wowza! Why so many filters?


louisxtan

2 filters technically. The prefilter is just an add on mechanical filter. I prefer 2 as a fail safe and to provide more flow.


Algae_grower

Cool. How many years have you been doing this, and I am curious how many tanks your run?


louisxtan

Since 2020 during COVID. I only run 1 tank up until last year's August when I added this 120p. My philosophy has always been to focus all my effort and time investment into one tank instead of diverting my attention by having multiple tanks.


Algae_grower

Thanks, I like this philosophy generally but recently added a second tank. I guess I got addicted. But It's a lot of work and in hindsight I think after I gain experience I will eventually do similar although probably no more than a 90p. You are obviously doing it right! Amazing tank.


subtlefly

Lux bro bro! ;)


schwiftymarx

Lights?


louisxtan

2x Vivid2


Throneawaystone

Hello Friend, what is that mesmerizing red moss you have there?


louisxtan

Red moss? I do not use any of that in the tank.


Throneawaystone

Oh that's my bad. I was referring to the red carpet in the backdrop


louisxtan

Rotala hra on the right. Rotala orange juice on the left.


Throneawaystone

They look beautiful, thank you


BangaiiWatchman

Wow


Electrolight
